There was a very similar problem that was solved successfully just a few days ago.

You have to uninstall Direct-X followed by a reinstall of Direct-X9.0c
However, doing it manually may be a bit risky, so see this thread as to how to do it properly & safely:
DirectX Happy U
ninstall

You can totally remove DirectX by using DirectX Eradicator. The link is-->*www.softpedia.com/get/Security/Secure-cleaning/DirectX-Eradicator.shtml

And now after removing it while you again DirectX, keep the following in mind:
click on the DirectX installer and change its compatibility to Windows98/ME or better to choose Windows 2000 if you are using XP.

let me guess u have Windows XP SP2 build 2096? install the full SP2 & it will work, do not uninstall DIrectX
